Key Benefits
- Enhances water taste and odor by effectively removing chlorine and organic compounds
- Protects water softener resin beds and system components from contaminants that reduce lifespan
- Provides consistent filtration performance with high-quality, uniform carbon granules
- Easy to handle and install in standard filter tanks or UPS pack configurations
- Supports safer water treatment by reducing chemical buildup and protecting downstream equipment
How It Works
Activated carbon works through a process called adsorption, where contaminants in the water physically adhere to the porous surface of the carbon granules. This process effectively traps chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other impurities that can affect water taste, odor, and safety. When installed as part of a water softener or filtration system, the OLC 12X30-100BOX media acts as a vital filtration layer, improving overall water quality before it reaches your taps.
The carbon’s high surface area and carefully controlled granule size (12x30 mesh) maximize contact time with water, ensuring efficient contaminant removal without compromising flow rate.
What to Expect
Immediately after installation, you’ll notice a reduction in chlorine taste and unpleasant odors, resulting in fresher, cleaner water. Over the first few days and weeks, this activated carbon continues to remove residual organic compounds more thoroughly as water flows through your system. With proper maintenance, including periodic media replacement, this product maintains consistent performance, helping protect your water softener and plumbing from degradation.
Regular monitoring of system pressure and water quality will help you determine the optimal replacement schedule, typically aligned with your overall water treatment maintenance routine.
